If McGregor has more than 2 weeks to prepare for a wrestler he fucks Mendes up in one.
Wrong, in the interview with Joe Rogan just after the fight Joe asks him his thoughts on fighting Jose Aldo and he immediately brings up having worse injuries.He made that comment once in response to a question he was asked regarding whether he thought Jose should have fought. He did not bring it up himself, and he never went into detail about the injury.
Kavenaugh was the one that broke the news on the knee, and that was also in response to a question.
I'm not gonna be one of those guys making excuses, now here's excuse 3.C

This would also explain why Mendes was picked instead of Edgar.
hey retard, the interviewer even bothers to say before the question, that he's the one bringing it up not Mendes, fractured foot couldn't stand on it for 4 days of the 15 days of training he had. hadn't even been training since the lamas fight and still was doing very well until he gassed out.
"... a fight with Jose Aldo will be easily the biggest fight in the history of the UFC. Give me your thoughts on that." Joe didn't ask him his thoughts on why Aldo didn't fight nor anything related to injuries. McGregor brought it up without being asked. And so did his coach with the knee excuse to why his TDD looked so poor.Yes...in response to fighting Jose Aldo and what his thoughts are on why Aldo didn't fight. It was never in any reference to his performance against Chad.
If he had pulled a Mendes here it would be more like:
"Conor you were taken down 4 out of 7 times in this fight.I know you haven't said this, but did the change of opponent or an injury leave you unprepared to face a wrestler?"
"Eeeehhhhh I'm not saying it's why I couldn't stop him, but I fooked me knee up months ago and couldn't even walk and...eehhhhh... dats why I couldn't stop him. I felt me knee fall apaaart in me first wrestling session and dat was it. If I had known Chad was the opponent and me knee was held togedda right, I could stop all of his take downs."
But Conor didn't have to explain anything because he won. And not only did he win, he did so in the exact fashion he predicted he would. Excuses only come out when people have to justify an unfavorable outcome.
But why would he take that fight injured...
UFC 189; Chad Mendes: $500,000
UFC Fight Night 63; Chad Mendes: $96,000 ($48,000 win bonus)
Oh.
He just went in there to collect a pay check. Was probably surprised by how easy it was to take Conor down.
